Yes, News of the World really was opposite the PUNCH office on Bouverie Street, and huge rolls of newsprint was unloaded for their printing presses.... PUNCH cartoon by Bill Hewison 1957 #newspapers #press #FleetStreet #sensationalism #media #communications #tabloids #history

‘Aristo-Populists’ May Prove to Be MAGA’s Undoing Populism draws its strength from a stark dichotomy between the people and the powerful. The people are the embodiments of all and every virtue, the elites of all and every vice. The most important qua...

“Strauss worried that #democracy could easily turn into #tyranny, thanks to its addiction to #sensationalism and #celebrity. He argued the best way to prevent this was to produce an intellectual aristocracy trained in the great works of the Western tradition …” www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti... 🎁🔗

https://ourworldindata.org/does-the-news-reflect-what-we-die-from

Does the news reflect what we die from? Our World in Data Comparison of the share of deaths in the United States from 15 causes of death versus the share of media coverage these topics receive in the New York Times. "3x more" means that the share of media coverage is three times the share of deaths in the US.

What Americans die from & what the New York Times, Washington Post & Fox News report on are different.

Heart disease & cancer = 56% deaths but just 7% of coverage.

Representation:

Terrorism = 18240X coverage

Homicide = 43X

Heart disease = 1/10

📰 John Simpson: 'I've reported on 40 wars but I've never seen a year like 2025'

💬 Visibility over risk ignites fears—current crises feel amplified, but aren’t they always there? 🤔🌍 #Sensationalism

What sort of #MediaReporting is this?

ठप उड़ान मचा कोहराम |
देश परेशान कब समाधान ?

Reminds me of Pokkiri’s police commissioner:
"லாரி டமால் டிரைவர் பணால்" — rhyming tragedy.

While families grieve, media houses compose jingles.

Will mir gar nicht vorstellen, wie oft das passiert - so lange es kein völliger Mist ist!?

Aber ich habe auch oft schon früher falsche Pitches erlebt, die von CEOs voll gelobt wurden, obwohl es de facto teilweise echt bullsh** war, aber eben super dargestellt!

Jetzt einfacher!

Does the world even exist without sensationalism?

So opium is so bad wars were fought over it.
Vicodin was "50 times deadlier!"
Fentanyl is supposedly so lethal that just saying the name can make a Sheriff's Deputy "get the vapours".

And this new thing is (supposedly) 40 times worse?

Man.

The "war on drugs" is a helluva drug.

Headlines once prioritized facts—like the Tylenol scare where investigators addressed the issue directly. Today’s outrage culture often ignores truth for sensationalism. Remember, fear sells, but only facts lead to solutions.

Against True Crime Sensationalism In November 2016, when I arrived at Sing Sing, the prison was much less intense than Attica. Batons stayed on hips. COs, who were mostly Black and Hispanic, and about half of whom were women, talked to you, not at you, and sometimes even laughed with you. They were from our communities. There was a […]

#erikakirk has filmed a video with her dead husband laying in his casket as she fawns over his dead body. It’s sick #sensationalism to get #sympathy for a #radicalized #racist & #hatemonger & fake #christian. Which will be Kirk’s lasting legacy.

Video Shows UFO Get Hit by Hellfire Missile, Continues Flying Unobstructed A wild clip just surfaced from a Congressional UAP hearing -- showing a glowing orb cruising over the Yemen coast like nothing happened... even after the U.S. allegedly blasted a Hellfire missile at i...

I’d be more willing to believe this if TMZ wouldn’t publish literally anything.

Why bother televising #Trump white house ambushes. The pretend tough guy & his WH gangster attacks are nauseating. Let the "radical right" tv stations cover this shit. It's garbage and spotlighting it is dumb. #MSM #FuckTrump #StopPlayingHisGame #Sensationalism #ShowTheResistance #DoRealNews

Do you think it should be someone as egotistical and determined extreme left-wing mono-maniac on a mission? Or just try to be the nice person and don't forget he/she must be FEMALE the left has failed us with since the 40's?

Annnnnd another ridiculous headline from #NZHerald. He defied "doctors' orders"? You realise he wasn't a prisoner, right? #sensationalism #dumbestheadlinesever

I feel like @groundnews.bsky.social ought to come up with another label that catches breathless #sensationalism meant to flood out other news.

Yeah, I'm sure the #cartels want #killerdrones, they probably also want mind control beams and their own #GusFring or #WalterWhite in the US, too.

News Media Outlets,

Do you know what we'd like to see more of? People doing wonderful things for the world and other people. Not giving people press for sensationalism, being hateful, mean, and bigots.

Let's see some peace & love ☮️🕊️❤️ #compassion #love #joy #peace #sensationalism #hatred #bigotry

Very insightful and clear. It critiques how media #sensationalism can distort perceptions of #populist influence, making it appear more significant than it is

Coining a term:

Specsational: #speculative #sensationalism as pump and dump #brain #smog

The greatest threat to our world and nation is not global warming, but corruption. It is the insidious act of trading away core values for personal gain. When this becomes the norm, we face a profound crisis.

into #sensationalism, while #CBC #News, Singh and #Poilievre paint #Canada as being in #chaos, fueling irresponsible calls to dismantle current Liberal leadership. This isn’t a #circus. It’s about our country, the people and the planet—let’s report it that way.

Jeff Bezos Overrode His Own Publisher to Kill Washington Post’s Kamala Harris Endorsement Senior opinion columnists say Bezos is undermining The Washington Post’s “commitment to democratic values.”

BEZOS & MUSK ALLIED IN TRUMP PUSH
Donald invigorates the publishing business. Harris policies were not tabloid worthy. #sensationalism #corruption

Today has left me frustrated.

The constant focus on #sensationalism
—deep dives into rabbit holes and tipping the scales—only distracts from the real threat we’re facing:

THE CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE that is Trump & his co-conspirators.

The repeated dismissal of this ongoing danger is maddening.👇
